Second Materiality of Warsaw: Building with Rubble in the Wake of World War II

"In the late 1940s, a transformative encounter took place in the ruins of Warsaw. A mounting effort to reconstruct the city was challenged by the vast amounts of rubble left following World War II. This socio-material clash led to the development of novel legislation, professional organizations, transnational circuits of expertise, and new approaches to designing and building. At the same time, the ruins of the city became the material basis for planned reconstruction, as state institutions engaged in ruin deconstruction, material salvaging and reuse, mechanized recycling, and construction with rubble concrete. This lecture gives an insight into this interplay of social and material agency involved in making of postwar architecture."
